Profitability ratios

How efficiently sales become profit.

Profitability ratios

Ratios turn raw figures into comparisons you can act on. Profitability ratios tell you how efficiently your business turns sales into profit.

  • Gross margin = Gross profit ÷ Revenue — pricing and production efficiency
  • Net margin = Net profit ÷ Revenue — overall profitability after all costs

Track margins over time. A falling gross margin often means rising costs you have not passed on in your prices.
